This grant is for the continuation of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Region 2 Fiscal Year 2011 project aimed at conserving birds, specifically the Red Knot (Calidris canutus). The purpose is to determine the distribution, migration patterns, and subspecific affiliations of Red Knots along the Texas coast during their migration and wintering periods. A key objective is also to identify the wintering and breeding regions of Knots that migrate along the Texas coast. This cooperative effort involves researchers from the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Texas Chapter of the National Audubon Society, and USFWS Region 2 divisions, working together to enhance the understanding and conservation of this important species.
